GRAIN-MIXING AND CEEIVIICAL-TREATING MACHINE.

Application filed September .26, 1925.

The present invention relates to a ma-- chine for mixing grain, feed, and the like, and treating said. grain and feed with chemicals.

An important object of the machine is to provide a mixing recc 'itacle o ieratively mounted on a pair of disks torming the sides of the receptacle and wheels and means associated. with said wheels whereby the same may be rolled along the ground for rotating the receptacle. Said receptacle is adapted to receive the grain from the bin at which time suitable chemicals are placed in the receptacle and the machine may be used for hauling the grain to the desired point, where it is to be used and during the travel ot the machine the grain and chemicals will be thoroughly mixed.

rii'iother very important objectof the in vention is to provide a mixing machine of this nature which is of a comparatively simple construction, one which is thoroughly reliable and eiiicient in its operation, strong, and durable in use convenient, and other- '\vise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. I

ith the above and numerous other ob- ;ii in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel l'caturesot' construction, and in the munbination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully describrd and claimed.

in the drzuving Figure 1 is a top plan view ot a machine cn'ibodying the features or my invention,

2 is a transverse section taken therei l l rough llig. 3 is a loiigritiulinal sectii'in therethrough, and

Fig. at is an elevation of the skeleton of the machine.

Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that numerals 5 designate two disks, each of which is preferably formed with two layers securely held togetl'ier in any suital'ile manner. A rim 6 is disposed about the periphery of each disk 5. A plurality of brackets 7 are mounted on the inner surlace of each disk and are arranged at oqui-distances trom the center of the disk and at equal intervals in respect to each other. A plurality of bars 8 extend from the brackets on one disk to the corresponding brackets on the other disk. A plurality Serial No. 58,887.

of bars 9 extend between the ends of the bars 8 adjacent the brackets '1 Thus a skeleton :trame is formed as is shown to advantage in Fig. at.

A plurality oi panels 11 are mounted on the bars 8 and 9 to form the sides of a polygonal container and are held in place by bars 12 engaged on the inner faces of the disks 5 so that the ends of the panels are held between bars 9 and 12. One of the panels 11 is provided with an opening 13 having a hinged lid l t mounted therein, so that the g and chemicals may be dumped into and from the receptacle.

A band 1.5 extends about all of the side panels 11 except that having the opening 13. Pintles 17 pierce the centers of the disks 5 and receive the loops 18 on the rear ends of rods 19. Rollers 20 are journaled on these rods 19 for engaging the outer srta -es of the disks adjacent their periphe :es. A beam 21 extends transversely in frontot the receptacle and the disks and has the torw-ird ends of the rods 19 l therewith as at 22. A draft tongue 23 is pivotally engaged with the center or the beam 21 as at Suitable draft trees 25 are engaged with the beam 21, one to each side of the tongue 23.

By opening the lid 14-, a suitable quantity of grain may be dumped into the receptacle from a bin and then the proper quantity o-t' chemical may be placed therein. The lid is then closed and fastened by suit ble means Draft animals or a tractor may he hitched to the machine so that it may be hauled to the desired unloading; place. Dur' ing' the travel of the ma hine the rereptaii-lc will turn over with the disk wheels and the grain and chemicals will be thoroughly mixed. The polygonal formation of the receptacle will afford sufiicient agitation means but the bars 8 will also function as agitators. The rollers 20 prevent the webbling of the disks 5 and maintain the same true and further assist in eliminating excessive friction when the mixer is being" turned by the draft appliances 21 and 2?).

It is thought that the construction. operation, and advantages of this invention will now be clearly understood by those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereot. The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed merely by way of example since in actual practice it too plurality of brackets arranged concentrically about the center of the inner surface of the disk and spaced at equal intervals from each other and spaced inwardly from the periphe y of the disks, bars disposed between the lIn'acli'et-i on the inner faces of the disks, bars tending be "een the brackets from to the other, said bars and d i L J1 i i r i skeleton ii ,me re: a pol gonal receptr and panels mounted on said bar,: to form the sides of said polygonal eptacle.

2. In a mixing machine of tie class de scribed, a pair of ground engaging disks, a plurality of brackets arranged concentricaL iy about the center of the inner surface of the disk and spaced at equal intervals from each other and spaced inwardly from the periphery of the disks, bars disposed between the brackets on the inner faces of the disks, bars extending between the brackets fron one disk to the other, said bars and disks forming a skeleton frame for a polygonal receptacle, panels mounted on said bars to form the sides of said polygonal receptacle, one of said panels provided with an opening, a lid hingedly mounted in the last mentioned panel for closing said opening.

3. In a mixing machine of the class described, a pair of ground engaging disks, a plurality of brackets arrangeo concentrically about the center of the inner surface of the disk and spaced at equal intervals from each other and spaced inwardly from the periphery of the disks, bars disposed between the brackets on the inner faces of the disks, bars extending between the brackets from one disk to the other, said bars and disks forming a skeleton frame for a polygonal receptacle, panels mounted on said bars to form the sides of said polygonal receptacle, one of said panels provided with an opening, a lid hingedly mounted in the last mentioned panel for closing said openin pintles extending through the centers of said disks and projecting beyond the outer surfaces thereof, a pair of rods, loops at the rear ends of said rods and engaged over the pintles, rollers on said rods engaging the outer surfaces of said disks, and a draft appliance engaged with the forward ends of said rods.

4-. In mixing machine of the class described, a pair of ground engaging disks, a plurality of brackets arranged concentrically about the center of the inner surface of the dist, and spaced at equal intervals from each otl er and spaced inwart ly from the periphcry of the disks, bars disposed between the brackets on the inner face of the disks, bars extending between the brackets from one dis-k tothe other, said bars and disks forming a skclet aine for a polygonal rccep tacle. panels n'iounted on said bars to form the s-iides of said polygona receptacle, one of said nineli roi'.ided with an opening, a lid iin dly mounted in the last mentioned l par-cl rollers on id rods engaging the outer surfaces of said disks, a draft appliance engaged with the forward ends of said rods, said draft appliance including a transversely extending means to which the forward ends of said rots are attached, a tongue pivoted to the center of said beam, and draft trees attached to said beam one on each side of said tongue.
